Re: Vote for Luck - Rookie of the Year

It doesn't matter what Luck had or didn't have at his disposal. It matters what kind of stats he put up. RGIII put up great stats. I fully expect that Luck in the long term will close the gap or be even better than RG but ROY goes to one of the other two. I will trade two wins in the playoffs for the ROY any day.

We beat the team that just beat the Bengals. I'm excited about tomorrow.

That said, its obvious there is a Pacers and Colts bias here. Which is pretty much what I said originally.

There is no harm in stating the obvious, even if people dont like hearing they are being biased irrational fans.

Dude, wtf? So because I root for the Colts and I have firm argument to believe that Luck has been the best rookie, that makes me a biased irrational fan? And you aren't?

I have never gone overboard in my support of Luck. I've said from the beginning that he's the best player in my mind, it's why he went #1 and he's done nothing to prove my regard otherwise. Ive given the other props, but I can't honestly sit here and say they are better because I dont believe it. I've been watching the NFL for 20+ years, and I know what I value in a bluechip prospect. Luck is it. I'd still recognize that fact even if I was a fan of another team. Just because my team drafted the player that I easily recognize as the best overall player doesnt make me biased. It makes me a fan of football and the Colts who just so happens to be a fan of the team that drafted who I felt was the best player.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

Yes, you are a biased fan. Yes, from my experience you are irrational at times and stick to your guns that you are the only one who knows what you are talking about and 100% correct.

But guess what, so are MOST fanatics. Hence why I said those who post here (or similar sites) are all biased.

I am not sure I can make that more clear....

PS. The comment you have never gone overboard in your support of Luck is laughable. Which is whatever. But ima calla spade a spade. And congrats on watching the NFL for 20+ years. I just turned 27, so I can almost say I have been watching the NFL for 30 years.

PPS. The part I bolded makes my point for me. Thank you

Wow you went from good poster to jackass quickly. O_O

And Ive been WATCHING for 20+, not from the day I was born. I'm a lot older than you.

Re: Vote for Luck - Rookie of the Year

I don't know why you're comparing age. I simply said I've been watching for 20 years and I'm basing my opinion off of what I've gathered from watching during that 20 years to determine that Luck possesses the traits that I recognize as top-flight.

You seem to be like... competing with me or something. I don't give a ***** if I'm older than you, you were just like "OOOH check me out i'm 27 so I've been watching longer than you."

What the heck happened to you, I started a vote for Luck thread and you come riding in on your high horse calling all of us biased homer fans.

Re: Vote for Luck - Rookie of the Year

all the Luck naysayers cry about his high TO numbers. Let me ask this: How many TO's does Luck have when the game was on the line in the 4th quarter? ZERO!!!!! His high TO numbers are irrelevant. Spare me with the nonsense of meaningless stats

Colts Andrew Luck has not completed over 50% of his passes in his last 5 games, which is longest streak for NFL starter in TEN years.

and to say all the TOs he has thrown/fumbled is irreverent is so lol. So will it be meaningless if he throws 3 picks today or what? I just don't get the Colts fans picking and choosing of what is good and bad.

I don't get you, really, so that's cool. You have a horrible attitude. Don't know why you spend so much time on the Colts board when you don't like the team and you think we're all idiots, and we really aren't persuaded by your "wisdom".

I think it matters for sure, but Wilson throws a pic 2.5% of the time, Luck throws a pick 2.8% of the time, that is not super far off, the big difference is Luck has thrown WAY more passes... and the 50% thing sucks and is something that is held against him, but when looking at that as well you have to think about why is he throwing all those picks.

Re: Vote for Luck - Rookie of the Year

I would also like to add one thing, if you looked at the Colts game earlier and are looking at this game now, just look how long Wilson has to throw the ball compared to how long Luck had, there is a biggg difference.

Re: Vote for Luck - Rookie of the Year

That is why I love Wilson kid is a leader has something you cant teach gotta love that block he just threw. Too bad RG isnt healthy we would probably get a better game. It will truly be greatness if he can do anything on his 1 leg here.

Re: Vote for Luck - Rookie of the Year

Griffin already has twice as many TD's in the 1st qtr as Luck had in the entire game. Kinda hurts Lucks chances

Annnd now Griffin is upstaging the injured griffin. I'll say this, these other two teams have way better defense's as well as O-Line play than the colts have. I personally don't think that should factor into how good a QB is graded as much as many fans on this board, but the differences are noticeable.
